Question 11 of 20 : Select the best answer for the question. 11. Find the value of x in the equation 2(x – 3) + 5x = 5(2x + 6). A. 2 B. –12 C. 12 D. –2

Answer 1

It should be D. -2 Since the x Is subtracting from 5 over 3 and you need to do Inverse Operation making it Negative so yeah, -2

Answer 2

2(x-3)+5x=5(2x+6) --- Distribute
2x-6+5x=10x+30 --- Combine like terms
7x-6=10x+30 --- Subtract x from both sides
-6=3x+30 --- Subtract 30 from both sides
-36=3x --- Divide both sides by 3
x=-12 (B)
